Clach an Tiompain, Pictish stone and scheduled monument in Fodderty, Scotland.
The stone measures 0.85 meters in height, 0.6 meters in width, and features two incised symbols on its east-facing surface.
The rectangular blue gneiss slab dates from the Pictish period and displays a horseshoe symbol at the top and a bird carving at the bottom.
The monument earned its local name 'The Eagle Stone' from the bird symbol carved on its surface, while its Gaelic name translates to 'The Sounding Stone'.
The protected area extends in an 8-meter diameter circle around the stone, which stands on an artificial mound approximately one meter in height.
The upper horseshoe symbol contains ornamental curved lines and small circles, while the lower bird carving includes detailed feather representations.
